While tools like [nativefier](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier) and [WebCatalog](https://webcatalog.app/) exist, they're either too complicated or too limiting for the average user to use. You shouldn't need to type a long command to generate a desktop version of your favorite web app, and you _especially_ shouldn't have to pay for it!\n\nWith Hop, installing a beautiful, pre-made version of your favorite app is as simple as:\n\n![Hop](./assets/hop.gif)\n\n## Installing\n\nTo get started with Hop, you'll need to install it globally:\n\n```\nnpm install -g @hopping/cli\n```\n\nThen just run `hop` from any directory!\n\n## How It Works\n\nSimilar to Homebrew, all of the apps supported by Hop are stored in this repository, under the `apps` folder. Each app has a manifest and an optional icon.\n\nUnder the hood, Hop will pass the app manifest as a series of configuration options to [nativefier](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier), which will build your app into a temporary directory, then automatically copy it to your system's applications.\n\n## Contributing\n\nA contribution framework is still being ironed out. For now, if you want to add your own web application or a manifest for an existing web app, just open a PR! If you have a design sense and would like to help contribute to icon development, all of the Hop app icons live [in this Figma file](https://www.figma.com/file/QQOdNUBnwGGimz8vXxDiVJ/Hop-App-Icons?node-id=0%3A1), which can be forked and added to an issue (seeing code changes are required to open PRs).\n\n## The Name\n\nThe name Hop was chosen to stick with the beer-themed naming of Homebrew (brew, taps, cask, etc.). [Hops](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hops) are a flower used in the brewing of beer. Alternatively, you can think of HOP as a backronym: Homebrew On PWA (progressive web apps).\n\n## Limitations\n\nThis codebase is in its infancy, and currently has only been confirmed to work on macOS. Additional code will need to be added to add support for Windows and Linux.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhop-apps%2Fcli","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhop-apps%2Fcli","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhop-apps%2Fcli/lists"}
